Leadership and Membership #1 is open to which students?

• A. College students studying Family and Consumer Sciences
• B. Community volunteers
• C. Elementary students
• D. Middle school and high school students enrolled in FCS courses

Answer: (D)

Eligibility for FCCLA membership is limited to middle school and high school students who are enrolled in Family and Consumer Sciences courses. This arrangement keeps the organization closely tied to the FCS curriculum, allowing leadership activities and projects to align with what students are learning in class. College students aren’t included because FCCLA targets secondary education and school-based leadership development, while elementary students aren’t typically in FCS programs at the level FCCLA serves, and community volunteers aren’t students enrolled in a school program.
